Children's Services

(P.J. Storytime with Ms. Teresa)

We welcome children and their parents to the Children's Room of the Library and encourage them to browse and read books together as well as play with our puzzles and simple games.
The Library's collection includes fiction and non-fiction books, reference materials, videos, and books-on-tape suitable for children from toddlers to early teens. The staff is pleased to assist in suggesting age appropriate materials.

Please Note:
Parental responsibility: Parents are responsible for what their children read and view. The library staff does not monitor or restrict children's access to library materials.

The Children's Room also provides access to:

The Parenting Shelf: A collection of materials on topics ranging from attention-deficit disorder to puberty.

Internet Access: The Children's Room has three computer terminals that provide internet access for children. However, parents must sign an internet policy agreement for their children. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult while on the internet.

Toddler Computer: Our toddler computer, located in our picture book section, provides children with educational games.

Children's Programs:

Preschool Story Hour (ages 3-5). Held every Wednesday morning & afternoon and Thursday mornings during the school year, they include stories, finger plays, songs, crafts, and refreshments. There is a fall and spring session.

Toddler Playtime (ages 2-3). Held on Friday morning and offered in six week sessions, they provide toddlers special lap time with Mom or Dad to hear a story and sing a song. Also a good opportunity to visit with other parents.

Summer Reading Program (ages 1-12). Incentives are offered which encourage children to continue to read over the summer. Story times, special programs and performers, trivia questions, and contests are also held.

The Children's Room provides other special programs during the year, such as storytellers, walk-in crafts, and musical programs.

Pre-Registration is REQUIRED for all Programs
